Jedi Master Points

Hey,
Im a new memeber to the board but there's been something thats been bugging me since Episode 1. WHAT ARE THE JEDI MASTER POINTS FOR? Now that i have a bunch of them after my AOTC shopping spree, i want to know even more. Are they for a game? Can you save them up to get stuff? Are they just for decoration? I need an answer!!!!!!!

People have been asking that since those useless pieces of crap started showing up in 1999 on the Episode I figures. Nobody has any idea why they're there! In some other country (when I say "other" I mean not the US), they could be redeemed for Star Wars goodies, including the elusive -- and crappy -- Obi-Wan with little sub thing that never appeared in the movie, books, or anywhere else. Hopefully something like that will take place here.

I redeemed mine for my Episode I Sneak Preview Mace Windu. Thats where I got all my extra stormtroopers, snowtroopers, & emperor. I figured since I am going to be opening up some figures, it might as well be ones that I wouldnt mind having a lot of!!!

As for now? Who knows! But I know I have a drawer full of them little buggers now!

There was a redemption at Wal-Mart around the time of EI that said send in so & so # of pts & the receipt where you bought em & we will send you the figure.

We have a store around here in MS called Hudson's Salvage where they have all kinds of stuff discounted. I didnt want to spend all the money for this figure at WM prices, so I dropped over to Hudsons, got my figures for cheap (like 2 a piece for the emperor, snowtroopers, stormtroopers figures) freed them from their prison, cut out the pts. & then sent them on their way with the receipt to get my figure!

Hey, it didnt say where to get em from or how, it just said send em in & you can get it! So I did, & I have it now in its mailer box, still in its pristine condition inside its plastic prison!!!!!!!!

*** EDIT *** I stand corrected, I was looking for info on this on the net & found out you had to send in 6 POP's (proofs of purchase) and a receipt for six Hasbro Star Wars toys dated between 10/1/98 and 12/31/98. So I didnt send in Jedi Points technically, but being that they are part of the POP, I did redeem em.........

hey welcome.
I have these things by the ton too.I realize that with the shop lifting issue and all they need a reciept if we ever get to redeem these things.But how many of you have reciepts for all your points?I don't.

Good point Dryanta. And if I remember correctly. . .when you sent in the UPCs for the Mace Windu you needed dated receipts within a certain time period. If that is the case. . .that would deem all of our jedi points more useless than they already are!!!!!! Even if we still had the receipts, some of them would be over 3 years old!!!!!

It took me about a week to gather all the opened boxes that were gathering dust from the basement and snip the points from them, but I am finally done and have reached a final tabulation:

Jedi Master Points 650

Micro Points (from Action Fleet/Micro Machines Star Wars stuff) 188

I had pretty much saved every box that I have opened up until this point, but then I finally realized that I had no use of keeping them, so they have been since disposed.

This number isn't too bad considering that I am a mainly carded collector, and most of my stuff is in-the-box and thus the points remain there. I am almost sure my Jedi Points would be double and ditto for the Action Fleet stuff as well.

Of course having a high number of Jedi Points is like winning 50 cents in the lottery. There like confederate dollars--Hasbro make something useful out of them!
